The hotel was very value for money and the manager was super friendly. It is located near everything you need and walking distance to Eyre square and Spanish arch. The room was very spacious and clean. The bed is very comfortable. The room warm up so quickly despite the single glazing window. Definitely, I will definitely stay there again

Breakfast staff was a bit rude. I went for breakfast which was not included in the booking. But I wanted to have it and pay. Her attitude stating no breakfast for room no...that discouraged me to get one.. It cost nothing to be friendly There was no remote for the TV but I was glad to escape TV for day

Good small hotel in quite neighbourhood Pub on ground floor Small and cosy room with all that needed Great value for its price

It's a little outside from Citi center (but city is small, so its not a trouble) It's a pub on ground floor and with live music (at least last Friday); can be noisy for someone, but i dont have any troubles, living on top floor Bulding itself and rooms exactly a little ancient Due to size of the room - bathroom is extremly small and sink are based inside the room

The charm of the place and people. Breakfast is a must, and so is a visit to the downstairs bar. It has this old-world feel to it. Really lovely. It's a 15-minute walk to the Galway center.

During our stay; the wifi will get cut off in the middle of the night. Can't be restored till someone returns to the office to reset it. Unfortunately, our 2nd day is on Sunday, so no one was there to re-start the network....

Dope little hotel and pub about 15 minutes walk from the heart of Galway. They have great breakfast options, super friendly staff, and a cozy pub to hang out in with other travelers and locals. Zero noise issues at night. Room was super clean and the shower water pressure was the strongest in all of the hotels I stayed in around Ireland - huge plus for me. There's plenty of parking on the side streets around the hotel and a few cats you might see along the way. Distance to downtown Galway was no issue. It's only about a 15-20 minute walk.

Nothing, everything was great.

It’s great value for money, it’s really cozy with a comfy bed. Tv is small but we were in the room much anyway so it didn’t matter. Staff are all so friendly. Location is great it’s 15/20 mins walking from Galway city centre

I don’t see any issues for the price. You get what you pay for and it’s really cozy with good staff.

Comfy stay near beach and pierce. Accomodation is farther from city centre, but because of it in quite neighborhood. Don't forget to bring adapter for chargers if you need (staff offered theirs adapter, but it was already taken). Kind staff, nice place, smell/sound from bar didn't travel upstairs to the rooms. It was also good to have ability to return anytime to hotel.

This is not a place to stay for too long, but for a night it was just what we needed: clean, quiet, with a good breakfast in the morning. It's antiquated, but functional. The area is also nice, within walkable distances to key areas.

There's stairs to all the rooms so something to consider for guests with limited mobility, as the they're quite narrow.

Great location within easy walking distance of both the centre and Salthill. Lovely old school, small hotel that feels like from another era, but perfectly clean and with everything you need. The pub downstairs is popular with the locals - always a good sign!
